I solve interactive problems for some of the worlds leading brands. For the past fifteen years I've designed apps, websites, marketing tools, retail experiences and other interactive products and services. I've worked for small start-ups and major organizations, both in-house and within design agencies.

Some design principles:

· To see the problem clearest, strip it back and eliminate distraction. Favor logic over taste.

· Make sure your gut is informed. Research and understand a domain thoroughly before trying to solve a problem.

· Interaction design is defining the emphasis of a product. Explore the full range of feasible solutions, even if just to see what not to do.

· Designing the best solution is just a fraction of the problem, convincing those around you as to why it is is often the harder challenge.

Below are a few projects I've worked on. If you'd like to know more about me please download my CV, or email me if you'd like to speak to me.

Tracking the effectiveness of programs to improve the lives of girls in Rwanda

Wireframing, user testing, prototyping

Nike Foundation

March - July 2013

The Girl Effect is an organization run by the Nike Foundation, whose aim is to improve the lives of young women in Rwanda. They wanted an app that could display data from various government and NGO programs onto a map, along with results of various effectiveness measurement metrics. I led the design of the initial prototype of the app, with a solution that was based on humanizing the data by promoting 'testimonial spots' amongst the quantitative data. As the project progressed we settled on a 'wizard' approach, taking users through the steps to create a map with multiple data layers in a linear experience. I took a prototype to government workers in Rwanda to test the ease of use of the app.
